Prüm Air Station, Radar installation in Prüm, Germany
The radar facility extends across a strategic location north of Prüm, featuring communication towers and monitoring equipment for air traffic surveillance.
The United States military established this radar station in 1950 to support operations at Bitburg and Spangdahlem Air Bases during the Cold War period.
The station employed 1,000 American military personnel and 100 civilian workers who integrated into local communities, including Niederprüm and Weinsheim.
After its closure in 2004, the German Weather Service took over meteorological data collection, leading to the complete transfer of the facility to German authorities.
The former military site transforms into a renewable energy center as RES Deutschland constructs two wind turbines to power 13,500 households.
